أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ وَذُکِرَ لَهَا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُکَائِ الْحَيِّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَکْذِبْ وَلَکِنْ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْکَی عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْکُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1861
It was narrated from ‘Amrah that she heard ‘Aishah say, when she was told that Ibn ‘Umar said that the deceased is punished due to the weeping of the living for him, ‘Aishah said: “May Allah forgive Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman; he is not lying, but he has forgotten or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم passed by a (deceased) Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said: ‘They are weeping for her and she is being punished.” (Sahih)
